ANC invites parties to form national unity government

The ANC has invited all political parties represented in parliament to
form a government of national unity.
The party’s national executive committee met in Ekurhuleni to find the
way forward following last week’s election.
The ANC has been forced to form a coalition government with other
political parties for the next five years after losing its majority.
ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa says the agreement for national unity
would be focused on tackling the country’s most pressing issues.

Khumalo have more from Boksburg.

Now this is the worst decision ever and the took it because they dont want to take any accountability

[@nelsonchinasamy9857]

What will your decision have been? . Nothing because people like you are nothing but armchair critics. You know it all from the comfort of your warm home in front of a TV or your smartphone. For the sake of peace maybe this is the best way to go. Get the willing parties together and form a government and tell the stubborn ones to take a hike and sit in the opposition benches.
